About The Author: Artist! - Johnny Hannah

I think the tone of Hannah's work is really interesting. There's lots of stuff going on, and this above has a particularly dark, spooky, gothic feel about it. Which is appropriate in relation to my own work on this project. I love the build up of layers in these images it makes them really exciting to look at as I can keep looking and see more and more!
The fact that you can see that traditional processes have been used (in some part anyway) to create this pieces gives them a niche personal touch - as opposed to something that could be designed similarly but all done digitally. I think the handcrafted vibe is a good thing going on here.
The style also looks kind of vintage- styled to a degree. Not overly twee or commercialised vintage-isms but more of an influence that is there but not overpoweringly so.

I love the look of this bottle motif. I could imagine as a pattern print on anything really. The whole label / bottle design is pretty relevant to the themes of my publication and it's interesting to see how other artists have approached this.
I am thinking of doing a pattern of bottles, but not in this same way. Though this does look really cool and would make an awesome back for a book!
